Facility with 20 bed capacity set aside

If a passenger comes to Michigan with the virus there is a facility on the state’s west side waiting, according to Paul Rogers, Director of the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.

“The potential site for hosting people repatriated from areas of concern globally that is located in Fort Custer, we have set aside a facility with a 20 bed capacity. To date it has not been activated,” said Rogers.

I think, by Mother's Day, we will be seeing tens of thousands of cases across at least 30 states. I don't know,yet (watching Australia) what the numbers will be in the summer, but next fall, I expect to see a million cases, and they will be in every state.

That is still less than 1% of the population, but after that, a lot will depend on genetic predisposition. As I have mentioned before, there may be whole groups of people who just don't get this virus (like people with cycle cell don't get malaria), but we don't have enough information to guess at that, yet.

A state-by-state breakdown of US coronavirus cases

State governments are working to contain coronavirus cases in the US, as federal officials say more testing for the virus will boost the number of positive cases.

On Tuesday, there were 57 cases across 12 states, as well as 45 cases from individuals repatriated from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, the site of an outbreak and quarantine. Three others cases of the virus are in people who were repatriated from China.

Still, officials insist that even if the number of cases continues to climb, there is no need to panic.

“The risk to the American people of the coronavirus remains low, according to all of the experts that we are working with across the government,” Vice President Mike Pence said in a Tuesday news conference.

More than 1,000 in US die in a single day from coronavirus, doubling the worst daily death toll of the flu

The U.S. topped 1,000 coronavirus deaths in a single day for the first time Wednesday, a daily death toll more than double that of two of America's most deadly illnesses – lung cancer and the flu.

Death counts from the virus are difficult to keep up to date, but the Johns Hopkins coronavirus database – whose sources include the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the European CDC and the National Health Commission of China – shows that the U.S. hit 1,040 cases Wednesday at 10:25 p.m. ET. Since the virus' first appearance in the U.S. in late January, 5,116 people have died and more than 215,000 have been infected. ---CONTINUED---

Trump says he can’t confirm China’s coronavirus case numbers, warns of 'horrific' days to come

President Trump said Wednesday he could not confirm the veracity of the numbers of coronavirus cases and deaths being reported by China, as he warned Americans to brace for more “horrific” days in dealing with the virus.

While Trump said the numbers being reported by Beijing “seem to be a little on the light side,” the president and National Security Adviser Robert C. O'Brien said they currently have no way to confirm the number of COVID-19 cases being reported by the Chinese government. The comments follow accusations from critics that China is underreporting its cases. ---CONTINUED---

Over a thousand die each day now in the U.S. from the coronavirus and each day, it will be getting worse. They're expecting over 200 thousand will be dead before it's all over. I think they are being kind to that 200 thousand number, I expect 500,000 or more.

The next week or two will be the worse for everybody, hang on to your hats people and stay safe.

Only a tiny fraction of COVID-19 cases have actually been reported, researchers say

The team says there was likely over 10 million cases in the U.S. by the end of March

The number of people around the world who have contracted the coronavirus continues to climb, with over 1.3 million confirmed cases being reported globally. However, a team of researchers say that number is only a small fraction of the number of people who have actually been infected.

Researchers from the University of Göttingen in Germany have analyzed statistics related to the outbreak and theorize that only 6 percent of the true number of cases is being reported, on average, in each country.

This is, pretty much, a deceptive statistic, since they are only comparing us with countries that have the means and motive to report actual numbers instead of reporting only a small fraction of real cases. All of the countries where we can get an honest and accurate count are much smaller than we are: we should be compared to the whole of Europe.

This is as good a place for it as any.
From the link:

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Millions more children in the U.S. learned Friday that they’re unlikely to return to classrooms full time in the fall because of the coronavirus pandemic as death tolls reached new highs.

It came as many states — particularly in the Sunbelt — struggled to cope with the surge and governments worldwide tried to control fresh outbreaks. In a sign of how the virus is galloping around the globe, the World Health Organization reported nearly a quarter-million new infections in a single day.

Most of this is merely scare mongering. Numbers of cases and numbers of deaths are pretty meaningless, due to massive fraud and deception in counting.

OTOH (also from the same article):

teams of military medics were deployed in Texas and California to help hospitals deluged by coronavirus patients.
...
There were signs across the Sunbelt that the virus was stretching authorities’ capacity to respond. The medical examiner’s office in metro Phoenix has gotten portable storage coolers and ordered more to handle an influx of bodies — reminiscent of New York City at the height of the pandemic there.

In Houston, an 86-person Army medical team worked to take over a wing of United Memorial Medical Center. In California, military doctors, nurses and other health care specialists were being deployed to eight hospitals facing staffing shortages.

Some hospitals in South Carolina also were being squeezed: The number of patients with COVID-19 is increasing rapidly, while nurses and other workers are getting infected when they are off work, said Dr. Wendell James, a senior vice president with Prisma Health who is based in Greenville.

These things are important.

In short, what matters is that we don't have conditions were hospitals and other health care facilities become so short staffed that they cannot care for the patients, since that will increase the mortality rate for almost all conditions treated there.

I don't know Dave. But when you only have a 8 bed unit for COVID-19 cases, you are going to be overrun. I see they've added beds and the Feds are sending help. But to send them home to die, I think is wrong, unless the patient or family requests it.

I can see some lawsuits coming their way.

It's certainly a horrible situation, but it's just an extension of the idea of triage. Save who you can.

Lots of reasons they are in that position that could fill an entire section all its own, but the fact is that other counties risk ending up in the same place if things don't get under control soon. Sad Blinking
